Subject: ANNOUNCE: mdadm 1.12.0 - A tool for managing Soft RAID under Linux
I am pleased to announce the availability of
mdadm version 1.12.0
It is available at
http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~neilb/source/mdadm/
and
http://www.{countrycode}.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/raid/mdadm/
as a source tar-ball and (at the first site) as an SRPM, and as an RPM for i386.
mdadm is a tool for creating, managing and monitoring
device arrays using the "md" driver in Linux, also
known as Software RAID arrays.
Release 1.12.0 adds:
Several of these are backported from the Debian package
- Don't use 'lstat' to check for blockdevices, use stat.
- Get size calculation right when in Create when BLKGESIZE64 not available
- Document --size=max option for --grow
- Document SparesMissing event and DeviceDisappeared/WrongLevel
- --stop --scan repeatly cycles until no more progress can be made
so that stack devices are stopped properly
- Minor type rationalisation for ident->uuid - now always 'int[]'
- Fix type in online help for --grow (was -F, now -G)
- Allow --auto command line option to set default auto=
value when running "--assemble --scan". Previously
--auto was ignored if --scan was given
- Fix a few type casts
- Fix parsing of /dev/md/N in is_standard
- Fix rounding errors in human_size()
- Fix silly example in mdadm.conf-examples
- When finding a /dev name for a device, prefer shorter names
- Suppress listing of devices= in --brief output of -D or -E,
unless -v is given (-vv gives the old behaviour with -Dsv).
This is because the device list can change and so is not a
stable aspect of the array
- Allow --force with --grow so '-Gfn1' works (on raid1)
- Make --examine --brief report spares= properly.
- When device files are made with "--assemble --auto",
add them to the list of known device name, so that
assembling stacked devices has a better chance of working.
- Replace sprintf calls with snprintf (to quiet diet-libc)
- Add man page for mdassemble
- Fix compilation with tinyc
- Lot of minor manpage updates
Development of mdadm is sponsored by CSE@UNSW:
The School of Computer Science and Engineering
